Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2019 Nissan Murano recorded 42 complaints, one recall, and 156 technical service bulletins (TSBs). This reflects a moderate increase in complaints over the 15 reported for 2018, yet it remains far below the high volumes seen in the 2003–2007 period. The most frequent complaint areas for 2019 were "Unknown Or Other" and "Forward Collision Avoidance," although the data does not specify the root causes of these reports. Positioned after a spike in TSBs between 2015 and 2017, the 2019 model exists within a general downward trend of federal reports that continues through 2026. Based on the low volume of complaints and recalls compared to the model's historical record, this is a good year to buy.
